Summary

This chapter described both stateful and stateless session beans, their contract with the container, and how to build one. How to build each bean using Application Developer is discussed in detail in Part 2 of this redbook.

We revisit the session beans discussed here in future chapters in the context of exceptions, transactions, and security.
